Alexandra Feachem

Alexandra Feachem is a science writer who produces accessible, psychologically rich books out of current research. How to Build a Universe, a work of popular astronomy, explains the gravity of the cosmos — from dark matter to the Big Bang — to a broad non-specialist audience.

A British author and editor with a doctorate in the history of science, Feachem has written for the worlds of physics and popular science publishing. Her work is valued for making the most mind-bending science feel clear, humane and even warm.
